Michael Cohen described to the nation in the Congressional hearing today what most people in this country already knew: Trump is a racist, a cheat and a con man. Deep down, even Trump supporters know this even if they won't admit it. This man has no regard for this country. He is all about himself. I would think even those GOP Congressmen at the hearing know this. That is why they never defended Trump, only attacked Cohen's credibility.
Since Cohen has admitted lying, the GOP points out why we should believe him. I think the conservatives have no problem believing a mobster's top assistant when he flips for the prosecution. The mobster boss will not be the one who actually pulls the trigger. He only orders the hit. So of course you need his foot soldiers to flip on him. These "witnesses" are never your clean cut model citizens. But I bet the law and order conservatives see no problem of convicting the boss based on the crooks who flipped him. But in this case, instead believing a person who was very close to Trump, they chose to attack him.
I think Trump may try to distract from Cohen's testimony by making a deal with Kim. I think he will declare the official end of the Korean War, which had only been suspended all these years. I won't make much of the difference in reality for now except Trump can say that he got peace. He hopes that will detract from all these hearings and legal problems. I doubt that Kim will get rid of his nukes after that. For now, nothing changes. But if the war is officially over, how long before Kim demands that the U.S. troops leave Korea? I think he sees this opportunity to play Trump again. Noticed he had a sly smile when reporter asked Trump about Cohen. By the way, Trump touts that he has great relationship with Kim. Well, so does Dennis Rodman!

I thought the timing of Cohen's testimony was interesting with POTUS in Vietnam. I don't know if anything will come out of it because I would guess that most Republicans and Trump supporters will stick with POTUS and will say that Cohen is lying or they simply don't care.
ReplyDeleteI was a little surprised that talks with Kim were called off and Trump ended up coming back home with no deal. So there is no distraction from the Cohen stuff now with N. Korea. I would have bet that there was a HUGE agreement (which would have been nothing anyway).

I think Kim saw that Trump needed a deal to distract from Cohen testimony. There was a ceremony scheduled for sealing a deal before the deal was struck. Kim figured that Trump was desperate so he asked for more than expected. I will give Trump some credit for walking away instead of letting his ego get in the way and signed a bad deal. Maybe Pompeo talked him out of it.
ReplyDeleteWhile the Cohen testimony and the Vietnam summit was going on, people seemed to not pay attention to India and Pakistan being at the brink of war. I don't think war actually will happen. They can't be that stupid, right? But any time two nuclear powers are shooting at each other, people, especially Trump, should pay attention.
Well, I am kind of wondering why there isn't more coverage on what's going on in India/Pakistan. I'm sure POTUS was informed while in Hanoi but being so close to the action, I would have thought there would be some mention. Did you see that they recovered a missile that they think was from Taiwan and made by the Americans?
